a HOPEFUL SIoN.--1n reply 10 the Troy
Tress, asking the Sun whether il would hnye
been better to have elected Blaine than Cleve-
land. we see that Dana thus declares himself ::
We mean to say that the Democratic party
would he immensely better OF to-day il Mr..
Blaine had been elected in 1884.
If Il at had happened The Republican party
would now &c in n state of advanced dissolu-
ton, and every artifce that Mr.. Blaine might
have applied, and every official bribe that he
might have paid, would only have added to
the Decentralization, while the Democracy,
and without any reason for interior 'eontE
vcrsy or conflict, would have been united, COM
pact, energetic and full Of reasonable conf
dence Units power TO take possession Of the
government next year, with some high-toned
and unquefieHablo Democrat MS its candidate {;
and, having 80 taken possession, it would in
all probability be able to keep control for twenty
years. -
'Now the Republican party is more united,
more jealous, and more confident, aud with
geod reason, than it has hcen at any other
line since it first voted for Grant, while the
condition of the Democracy is such Us We need
not describe
Whilst no Democrat at the South recognizes
the right Of the New York Sun to speak for
the DemOeracy--being recognized here, il it
has any pre'entions to Democracy. as being
whnt is familiarity known rs q traitor in the

cies or philosophy Of this maapert medder
in Demo cratic affairs.
OF what Olympisn cheek this New York
political prostitute is capable, is seen when it,
of NIL journals, dhres to talk of high tone in
anything. The advocate Of Den Butler hos a
notion Of tone which We Of the South spit upon
with loathipg and disgust. The reviler of Haa-
cock, the brave soldier, tho patriot and the
man who had the sagacity to decry and the
nerve to repudiate the effort to subordinate the
civil to the military, is not exactly the man
from whom the honest. fearless Democracy Of
the country care TO take their idea Of high
toned Democrat High-tonei, indeed! Why,
this man, Dana, would be the first to reach
personal, POLITICAL and social damnation under
any regime with any tone behind it.-Coi.

and diseases. She writes as follows: IA
young lady of this city while bathing some
years ago was thrown violently against the
life line and the injuries received resulted in
an ovarian tumor which grew aud enlarged
until death seemed certain. Her physician
finally advised her to try Mrs Pinkhams
Compound. She did so and in a short time
the tumor was dissolved and she is no,U in
perfect health. I also know Of many cases
where the medicine has been Of great value
in preventing miscarriage and alleviating
the pains and dangers of childbirth. Phila

The Saloons Victims.

Yet. though this institution brutal!'es
and desra'les men, and increases the
friction of all progressive effort i'm
menscly, the suffering which it entails
upon women is heavier and keener. The
maternal grirf involved is but one phase
OF the subject. If the saloon wrecks
thousands of lives and homes, its victims
go to ruin with paralyzcd sensibiIitics;
and when they arc inilicting most pain
upon those who love them, they arc least
capable oil realizing the truth. The
liquor whose habitual use dulls all the
facuItirs, cA;inguishcs conscience, shame
and self respect in the course Of its de-
structivc work, and the hardened
drinker will sacrifice everything to his
master passion without scruplc or hcslta-
ton. Tut tho women who ale doomed
to bear the heavy burden Of relationship
to drunkards arc indeed to be pitted.
The domcstirity from which few of them
can escape forces upon them perpetual
experiences so hcartbrcaking, so revolt
ing. that their existence is a prolonged
tragedy. All the caprice, petulance, un-
reason; tyranny, brutality, engendered by
drink is expended upon them. All the
social degradation and modification of
the position falls upon their heads. The
living man chained to corpse is no more
terribly situated than tho wives and
daughters of saloons victims. Liquor
eliminates all the drunkard's good quail
itics. reenforccs all his worst vices, and,
having thus transformed him, sends him
home to torture and abuse those whom
it is his first duty to cherish aid protect.

The License" System.

A license is the rum-seller's justifca-
tion and temperance delusion.
A license is the m-scller's fort and u
temperance humbug.
A license sanctions the crime and gilds
the saloon.
A license, while pretending to regu-
late the saloon, apologies for the crime
that it produces.
A license calls for a bribe and cor
rupts tile bribe takcr.
A license is legal sanction for crime
for a money consideration. which costs
ten times the amount received to take
care of the consequences of the crime.
A license is murder sanctioned by law.
A license is murderous war on the
people, sanctioned by the people them
selves.
A license is murder by the wholesale,
with provision that the murder shall
be done with slow poison only.
A license restricting the number of
saloons does not restrict the amount OF
poison 10 be drank. A concentration or
monopoly may, and often does, offer su-
perior attractions to drink oftener.
A license to furnish intoxicating liquid
poison to our sons, brothers and fathers,
for money consideration, is glowing
evidence of our present high civilization,
our Christian civilization. Don't you
Sc the point, voter:
High or low license is premium to be
paid for the privilege OF commission to
commit crime.
High or low license is bribe to our
selfishness and q sanction of our crimi-
nal propensities.
A license to commit crime as means
of regulating it; this is the last method
by which pretended advanced weak
knced politicians and anti-saloon Ee-
publicans are trying to coddle this upas
tree of intemperance with justification
of the rum sellers criminality; with the
sanction of a bribe, and, besides, the
monopoly of the business of making
druukards. Did the world ever know of
a more stupid and wicked attempt to
bolster up criminal business2 A sane
ton of crime 10 be boosted Of as means
of regulating 1t is all bosh and nonsense,

I speak as a Christian minister and
educator, whose work is to train youth
for worthy citizenship, giving utterance
to my profound convictions upon the
burning question: "What shall be done
with the saloon?" Into our modern
civilization has come new factor, start
lingly significant in the problem of the
future. Unknown to the ancients in
any such form.as it now presents, it
strikinely illustrates the fact that as
civilization advances society develops
new phases and new pcrils. Let US con-
slider the place Of the saloon in modern
society. To see the prominence given
to it, and the tender treatment which it
receives from highest officials and dig
nitaries Of every class, one might sup
pose that the hope OF the country was
entrusted to the custody of the liquor
dealer. Looking at its character and
deadly work, one might think it would
DC uE1VCu u uul n ouo oSSlCt OouS, ouo
only in1uenc. q few deluded victims.
Alas thai we should be compelled to ad-
NIT that the saloon is the most potent
agency in society, more feared, more
honorcd, more influential than any other.
It has large numbers. There are in the
United States 2O6, 970 liquor dealers and
manufacturers known to the govern
ment. The number is doubtless much
larger. Allowing twenty feet for each
saloon, they would stretch from Chicago
to New York. There is probably one
saloon for every sixty voters in the
United States. The saloon power is or
ganizcd. 1t masses all its forces and
hurls them against all opposers; it sacri-
fees every othr interest in the defense
and prosecution Of It's atrorious business.
These combined liquor dealers control
the legislation OF the country by bribes
and threats, and make no concealment
of the fact. At the National Capital,
and around the lobbics OF every State
Capital, their agents are kept, and lcgis-
lators discern their power, and bow be-
lore it a. the willow before the wiutry
blast -Presactns G. II. Iayne, DID,,

Purdee Medicine Co.:
GENTLEMEN:-Nearly all winter l was con-
fined to my room with in1ammatory rheu-
matism. I commenced using DR.. Pardee's
Rheumatic Remedy, but after taking it for
o time the pain became more intense, and
was alarmed and feared the remedy was
making me worse, but continued its use and
soon the pain left ME, and I gradually i'm
proved, the soreness leaving my arms and
shoulders and seeming to pass out at my toes.
1t has completely cured me. At the time
1 commenced using the remedy, I had q
throat difficulty and the catarrh, which I
found to be better after taking it, and it oc-
Cured to me to use it as gargle, which 1
did, and to my great satisfaction improved
rapidly, and to-day am free from both rheu-
matism and catarrh. I consider it indispens-
able as q family medicine. I take one tea
SPOONFUL after breakfast, and find it splen-
did tonic. 1 would advise you to recommend
it rs gargle for throat troubles and catarrh,
for know it will cure. I have seen some
remarkable cures from the use Of this rem
edv, and it is one I can recommend to all.

Tie temperance reform is making

though it is not by any means as fur ad-
vanccd as in the United States. Weare
so accustomed in this country to take it
as 4 matter Of course that all evangelical
ministers of The Gospel are total alb
stainers that the statement, given as an
evidence of encouraging progress, that
"sixty abstaining Baptist ministers in
Scotland allow their names to be pub
lished in the list of members" of the
